Awesome Flowchart Idea
I just thought of a genius idea for a flowchat. In your development room have a wall with nothing on or against it, and use the wall and post-it notes as your flowchart. You could edit the flowchart very easily and you could use different colored post-its to indicated different areas of the project. Now thats a cheap, easy, and very efficent way to make a flowchat that will be very helpful to any development process.
I've always seen people do it with regular sheets of paper. I just thought of an ever better idea. Make it modular. Put the post-its on pieces of poster board so you can easily go from flowchart to flowchart.

uhm, that's pretty much how it's done... really
As the Capn' has said, that is really how they do it on large scale development projects. If you really want to see of a genius idea for flowchart software, take a look at SmartDraw. I had no idea how to use it, yet I was able to make an entire one in a matter of minutes, talk about a great learning curve!
Even better, use a whiteboard. No, wait... loads of people/studios already do that...
Your idea of sticking pieces of paper to a wall as part of a flowchart (or any other sort of disgram or planning for that matter) is a good one, but it's not really original, most people have already been using spare wallspace like this for years.
My preferred method is using a whiteboard, as you can very easily add/remove/change information as required.

Hrm, news to me. This is my first venture into any kind of development project. Just thought I'd say what came to mind as a great idea even though I wasn't the first to think of it.
What whiteboards do you guys use to design? I am looking for a free whiteboard that can work with a firewall (From my dorm certain ports are block (yeah it sucks) so I can not play online games). I found one on the net, but they charged like $200 for a year of service - Any free alterantives out there?
